Inside. Ogden citizens protest racism (see page 2) Nadauld speaks on budget issue Susan M. Fishburn News Editor , Critique of "A Tomb With a View" (see page 10) Weber out-claws Bengals (see page 12) Middle East focus (see page 4) Student Health Center affects disaster planning (see page 2) The Board of Regents said no, Friday, Oct. 24, to Gov. Norman Bangerter's 95 percent budget for higher education. President Stephen D. Nadauld, of Weber State College, expressed his concerns for higher education in Utah so eloquently that the regents requested he write it down so they could take it to the people of Utah. The 94 percent budget translates into the elimination of 58 positions, reductions in numerous programs and consolidations of 14 programs. Nadauld told the regents that as a businessman, he had the task of closing two plants and laying off in excess of 120 people, according to an Ogden Standard-Examiner report. But "none was as personally painful as the recent elimination of 58 positions at Weber State," Nadauld said. He went out on a political limb, said Dr. Dick Alston, professor of economics at WSC and member of the govornor's Alert Committee. The regents climbed out there with him, as they submitted a 110 percent budget to the govornor. The approval for such a budget would require a near miracle. Even a $100 million tax increase being considered by Bangerter would only cover the increase in insurance and utilities, according to Alston. Nadauld was painfully honest as he told the regents, "I tell you, if a student walked into my office and wanted counsel about a career in education, I would have a hard time giving him or her encouragement."The regents' budget request will be sent to the governor, and legislators will not even see it, according to Alston. The legislature will take final action in early 1987. The regents' role has been to hold the higher education budget down, and they have done it in recent years, according to Alston. "But now, they are on our side," Alston said. Nadauld's plea was directed to the regents, but they in turn intended to deliver it to the people of Utah, who must make the final decision. "I have a great fear that 5-10 years from now, we will realize we saw a decline of Utah's fine education system," Nadauld said. Lopez introduces survey Terry Allen Staff Reporter Currently the Stewart Library has to , comply with a three percent budget cut. v This is a result of cuts mandated by f Governor Norman H. Bangerter. "This cut is approximately $35,000," said Craig S. Hall, director of Information Sevices at the library. "Our problem is 70 percent of our budget is in personnel and 30 percent in materials. With this cut coming at mid-year, we will not reduce our staff. The odds are uidL leuucuons win oe made in material budget." our Currently the ASWSC senate is work ing on a possible solution to the financial problems facing the library. Barbara Lopez, who earlier introduced a petition to help supplement the library's budget for the ASWSC senate approval, yesterday introduced through Inrnoh Porr XCWrCf I : 1 i an, njllj, UUM11C5S ailU y economics senator, a survey that would examine students feelings on how to combat the financial problems facing the library. The original survey had four main points, however the senate suggested changes that could be made, and Lopez and Farr are at the present time reworking the survey. Lopez criticized some senators in a letter to the editor that appeared in last Friday's issue of the Signpost. The letter expressed her concern of how the senate had handled the petition. She had presented the petition during the Oct. 13. 19S6 meeting of the senate. The following are the deadlines for payment of deferred registration for those students registering either in person or by phone in November. If payment is not received by closing times on these dates the registration will be erased.

To participate in registration, which begins for some students Nov. 10, 1986, students will not have to have any of the money to pay for tuition, no stamps of .approval will be required, students will be able to use credit cards and will be able to make schedule changes anytime after they first initially register. Due to a decision of the Board of Regents last week, tuition has been raised ten percent. Tuition amounts will raise from $6 to $126, depending on the number of credit hours and whether students are residents, nonresidents or foreign students. Payment of tuition and fees will no longer be due at the time of registration, but students will have the opportunity to defer the payment until a later date due to the approval of a student resolution by deans' council. The dates set for Winter Quarter 1987 registration are as follows for all students who register in person or by phone during November: Seniors: Dec. 8, 1986 Juniors: Dec. 9, 1986 Sophomores: Dec. 10, 1986 Freshmen: Dec. 11, 1986 At closing time on the nights listed above, all registrations that have not been paid for will be erased from the memory. Classes that were closed could then re-open if students do not pay for their registration. The president's staff also approved, in last week's meeting, the use of credit cards. However, a one and one-half percent service charge will be added to registration. The charge is to cover charges assessed by the credit card companies. Stamps of approval that were formerly needed to register for classes will no longer to be needed, due to a recent decision of the deans' council. Previously students needed to get departmental stamps to register for classes with pre-requisites or for classes that required instructor approval.

Hurst also said that a computer system is presently being developed which would automatically check students' transcripts to see if a student had taken the pre-requisites. Hurst said, however, until the system is ready there will be no means of checking. It is not possible for students to register for a class without the pre-requisites.
